Cybertruck is going to outsell the Rivian many times over.
Todd the Cybertruck Truck Guy on YouTube has good insight on how Cybertruck satisfies all kinds of American buyers of pickup trucks and full-sized SUVs. Here’s a couple good videos on the Rivian comparison.
I hear that, though the market's huge for trucks! Also, there's no in-house knowledge, admitted by them, for scaling production. Even if Cybertruck sells more because Tesla can ramp up production faster and might be a better product right now, it doesn't mean that Rivian is going to sell 0 vehicles. They have a commercial van set up too that could sell a lot just to Amazon.
It's kinda like Rivian is going into it starting with the Model S like how Tesla started in 2012.
It's how I interpret the analysts reporting that Tesla is 10 years away. Though, I think the ramp up will go quicker for Rivian to get to a steady-state compared to Tesla's long road across S, X, 3, and now Y.
...now, I wonder what the ramp-up speed has been like from 0 -> 100k vehicles per line...and track that ramp up with other EV vehicle manufacturers...
